It works for me if I substitute "PST" for your "CET" - could the "CET" be the
problem?
I guess what I would do is start by testing whether the date formatter can
round-trip its own output, like this:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS zzz"];
NSString* output = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(@"%@", output);
NSDate* date = [dateFormatter dateFromString: output];
NSLog(@"%@", date);
It can on my machine (PST). If it can't on your machine, that sounds like a bug.
Also, do try -[dateFormatter getObjectValue:forString:errorDescription:]; It is
definitely throwing an error (not very helpful, "The operation couldn't be
completed") for your string on my machine.
